Re: .env loading the dot env file?

maybe tangential, but it's pretty easy to "source" a foreign rc-file (here bash) from Perl with this trick

my $bashcode=<<'__bash__';
. /tmp/src.sh;
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper \%ENV';
__bash__


my $VAR1;
eval qx{bash -c "$bashcode"};

print $VAR1->{MONK};

Very nice. The benefit here is that you don't have to do anything externally when invoking your script. Thank you and bookmarked :)	[reply]

Yes I like this inside-out approach too, since it's trivial to share data between different languages. :) BUT I should add that `source` has the same limitation like a `do config.pl` ... it's evaling code which might pose a bigger security problem than only "parsing" the file. OTOH that's also the case if the shell does it, before executing Perl. It wasn't clear to me what kind of `.env` the OP wants. And %ENV is always security relevant.
